Tunnel/Dunkettle traffic in morning

[mr.selfDestruct]

We need a massively increased park and ride service covering Dunkettle too.

We also need people to look in their bloody mirrors the odd time. Too many drivers have no idea what's going on around them, other then straight ahead.

Isn’t it there a whole new town (water rock) of approx 5k people that will be opening near midleton in the next few years ?

Surely the tunnel/infrastructure can’t take that extra load ?

I saw on line that a new apartment complex for L'ile De Jacob was turned down as the road infrastructure nearby would not be able to cope. At first I bemoaned the lack of imagination that seems to infuse our City planners, but, after this morning I thought, Fuck it, we cant be adding more cretins to an already treacherous network.

And explain to the younger people they are not playing a game of Grand Theft Auto. Crashes have consequences.

The amount of people who don’t use indicators is staggering too. Was driving home from Little Island this morning and the number of people not using them was ridiculous. Some with no lights in either.

People casually drifting between lanes are an absolute menace

I'm afraid it's a phenomenon particular to Cork. I don't see it to anywhere to the same extent in Dublin or elsewhere (I do a lot of driving around the country). As I say to people, is it little wonder Cork is not winning All-Irelands anymore when half its adult population are too stupid or too lazy to use the indicators on their car.

Jesus lads Sterling Moss would be at home in this thread with all the expert drivers

One thing that drives me spare is when you are heading eastbound from Bloomfield ( so towards the tunnel) and feckers fly up the lane towards Mahon point but then pull back into the centre lane trying to save a few seconds of time.

Another accident at bloomfield about 20 mins ago btw

Tbh I thought it was a terrible decision, five hundred apartments and if for argument sake they had 2 cars each (which they wont), that's only a 1000 cars on a road that carries 80k daily.
If you read the councils internal report, you must assume that nothing of consequence is going to be built around the N40/Mahon/Rochestown areas in the near future.

Appears to be another crash
